Well, it sounds like good news.

As for the corys, if their bellies are convex then all is good.

Cheers.

I hate to resurrect this posting, despite the great response that I got from everyone. But, tonight well after couple hours when the lights were turned off, I decided to drop a tablet for the catfhish, but these damn tiger barbs, who were all asleep, got up and noticed and got to the food.

I know people tell me to feed them after the lights go out, and maybe Im too concerned, but Im seeing the tiger barbs getting to the food, and not the catfish. Even feeding at ngiht does not go unnoticed to the stupid barbs.

try feeding after you turn the tank lights out and the room lights out. The cories will sense the food but the barbs should stay asleep

That's why I suggested to use an opaque tube to drop pellets with...

ya know I did see a tube at petsmart, it was clear. I also saw a divider. I was thinking of using one of those. it seems like a lot of work thoughto feed something that shouldnt be all that difficult. I did drop a tablet but the tiger barbs got it still. if i use a tube, i still think the tiger barbs will smell and find it though.

do u think a divider is an option?

If the corys have big tummies then I wouldn't worry about it as they're obviously getting enough to eat. If they don't then drop in one tablet for the barbs and one for the corys just before you go to bed. The tablets do dissolve and the barbs won't get all of them anyway.

Just be casreful not to over feed as a) it's not good for the fish and b) it's not good for the tank as it fouls the water which I guess takes us back to a).

Cheers.
